Industry Reviews
"Kati Marton's HIDDEN POWER gets and keeps the reader's attention not because her subject is new but because her focus on it is interesting."
Los Angeles Times - Anthony Day (09/20/2001)

"Scores of interviews and extensive research have turned up some revealing anecdotes and shrewd insights into the 11 presidential couples she chose to profile. And the subject, with its blend of power and passion, backchannels and backstabbing, secrets and sex, is irresistible."
New York Times - Patricia Cohen (10/05/2001)

"Marton's tone is balanced, and she is fair to Republicans and Democrats alike....She treats the first ladies with a sympathetic respect. At the same time, she is not afraid to describe faults. HIDDEN POWER is not hagiography. [It] is, however, thinly sourced....It is sad to see [Marton] her writing a compilation of truisms about presidential personalities, a skim history that is unworthy of her gifts and conscience."
Washington Post Book World - Lorraine Adams (10/07/2001)
